Summary

Pines Middle School is a public middle school in Pembroke Pines, Florida, serving 604 students in grades 6-8. As part of the Broward County School District, which is ranked 25th out of 67 districts in Florida, Pines Middle School consistently outperforms the county and state averages on standardized tests, including a 97% proficiency rate in EOC Algebra 1 compared to 65% in Broward County and 60% statewide.

However, the school faces some challenges, including a higher chronic absenteeism rate ranging from 30.9% to 33.6% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state and district averages. Additionally, Pines Middle School has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 47.35% to 67% in recent years, indicating a higher proportion of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Despite these challenges, the school's per-student spending is higher compared to nearby schools, ranging from $9,514 to $13,790 per student in recent years.

When compared to other middle schools in the area, such as Somerset Academy Middle (Miramar Campus), Carol City Middle School, and Nova Middle School, Pines Middle School stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly in its high test scores. However, the school's higher chronic absenteeism rate and spending per student may warrant further investigation to understand the underlying factors and potential areas for improvement.
